Duce Staley

Continuing on with my look back at lucrative contracts signed by Pittsburgh Steelers over the course of the last 15 years, today I will recall for you the signing of running back Duce Staley back in 2004. When the Steelers signed Staley he was already 29 years of age and…

With the start of the 2016 free agent signing period now just a few days away, I thought I would quickly recap a few of the bigger money unrestricted free agent signings the Pittsburgh Steelers have had since general manager Kevin Colbert was hired back in 2000. Kimo von Oelhoffen…

Every year at about this same time I am bombarded with questions on Twitter concerning unrestricted players who the Pittsburgh Steelers might be interested in signing. It’s amazing to me after all of these years that fans still set their sights high when it comes to the Steelers and free…

The Philadelphia Eagles aren’t wasting any time when it comes to attempting to fill their head coaching vacancy after firing Chip Kelly on Tuesday. On Saturday, the Associated Press reported that the Eagles interviewed running backs coach Duce Staley on Friday. Staley, who started his NFL career with the Eagles…

Happy Friday to all of you and I know you all are ready for the Pittsburgh Steelers Week 2 game against the San Francisco 49ers Sunday at Heinz Field. Today, by the way, happens to be my 22nd wedding anniversary. Can you imagine having to put up with me that…

On the day of the NFL Hall of Fame induction ceremony, it’s a time for reflection, where a select few athletes will join an elite fraternity that will immortalize them forever to the NFL faithful and that ,off the top of my head, can only be rivaled by the Heisman Trophy…

Another series, a collaborative one, to take you through the remaining weeks of the offseason. Jon Ledyard and I will pick a side in choosing the greatest Pittsburgh Steelers at each position. Tell us who is right and who won the debate – those don’t have to be the same…

Now that the NFL Network has revealed the 2015 ranking for Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger in their annual Top 100 list, I figured it would be a great time to feature him in our weekly Throwback Thursday post. Today, we will travel back in time to Roethlisberger’s 2004 rookie…

Long a fan favorite of the team, former Steelers fullback Dan Kreider seems to have been one of the last in a breed of dinosaurs at the position. In this, I mean the lead blocking, throwback-style fullbacks whose face masks got mangled each and every game and who’s primary responsibility…

If the Pittsburgh Steelers are interested in signing a veteran free agent running back during the offseason to back up Le’Veon Bell next season, they’ll certainly have several to choose from. As of Wednesday, we can now add Pierre Thomas to the long list of future unemployed running backs as…

With just 49 rushing yards on Sunday against the New Orleans Saints, second-year Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le’Veon Bell will be able to provide the team with something that it hasn’t had over the last few seasons: a 1000-yard rusher. As a matter of fact, one would have to go back…

The Pittsburgh Steelers were very busy this offseason when it came to signing free agents as eight have already been added. Three of those eight players added are considered street free agents as they were released outright by their previous teams earlier in the offseason. How many of these eight…

Ed Bouchette of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette wrote Thursday on his blog about the impending “March Massacre” that could take place with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
